It has been awhile since I have posted anything new regarding the fund raising activities. I wanted to let everyone see how faithful God has been and also communicate the remaining gap that we have in order to bring our boys home.
The total estimate for our adoption is ~$36,000.
We have been blessed with receiving ~$30,000 YTD.
This is the break down for the $30,000:
$9,000 = Personal funds - our yard sales, selling stuff, and extra money that we can put back each month.
$4,000 = Generous donations from friends/family
$7,000 = Generous loan from parents
$10,000 = Lifesong/Orphan Care Alliance interest free loan
We have enough funding to get us through our first trip in October. We are still short $6,000, or the amount needed to travel our second trip (maybe November/December) and pay for all 4 plane tickets back home.
Here is how you can help:
1. Continue to pray. Pray for the continued safety of our children and the first court date in Sept 29. Also, please pray for success on a grant application that is pending.
2. We are still selling t-shirts, drink coasters, and coffee. If you have friends/family that may be interested in any of these items, please refer them to our site. All the information is on the side bar.
FYI:
We have sold >140 drink coasters and will be receiving our first t-shirt order of 50 soon!!
